Shotps slley, near First aud streets
northeast, yesterday morning was filled
with music aud the sound OF shuiling feet.
All this was at the house of Mr.. Lee,
colored, aud was in honor Of Mr. Luke
Nelson. There were number Of colored
people present, and among them were
Josse Perry, aged so years, and VIM. f
Brooks, who Is young ana dashlng Every
thing passed of quietly until 1879 o'clock
when Perry, who Is a firm believer In keep
ing good hours, started for home. Before
doing so he paid his respects to the host
and hostess. Perry, II seoms, made him
self very agreeable to the ladies and there
were somc OF them who failed TO meet him
and expressed wish TO do so. Mr.. Brooks
heard Of their wish and he thought II very
strange that Mr.. Perry should tear himself
away from such agreeable company fright
In the s1ank OF the evening"
"Ladics," said he, "allow me the honor
to bring back Mr.. Perry" The desired
permission was granted him, and, with the
speed Of the wind, he started after him,
oyertakipg him In front of his (Perry's)
house.
"Mr. Perry, de ladies am sxing fur you.
Youse better cum back" said Brooks.
"G0 way. lse gWlne nOme' Nnab 10
docs | wants TO see dc ladies. I'm gwinc
ter bed," replied Perry.
Brooks then grabbed Perry by the coat
and held on TO him, aud refused TO let go
his grasp, whereupon Perry pulled out OF
his pocket very small, old-fashioned,
singleb barrel pistol and fired at Brooks, and
the bullet entered near the victims left
temple. The shooting attracted the atten.
tion OF Officer Fisher. After search he
found the wounded man lying on the side
walk near Third street aud Massachusetts
avenue. The ambulance removed him to
Providence Hospital. Perry was subse-
uuently arrested by the officer.
Yesterday the bullet was extracted by DR..
Luce, end the patient seems to have
chance to recover About noon yesterday
Assistant District Attorney Shepherd went
to the hospital TO take Brooks ante mortem
statement, but he was found to be much
improved. Brooks stated In an interview
"As was going down the alley passed
Perry, who was talking to a lady know,
ard he said: There goes the black -
- - and blazed away. don't know
what It was for; we had no words, and |
don't know that he had anything against
me-"
Perry admitted the shooting and claims
that he only fired to scare Brooks away.

Miss Clara Barton,s Report.

The report of Clara Barton, president Of
the American Red Cross Association, upon
the operations Of the Red Cross hospital
during the late national drill, comes to us
In particularly neat and attractive form.
1t is addressed to the people Of Washington,
and 1t ought to be read by them.
1t will no doubt surprise many of our
readers to learn that there was real sick
ness In Camp George Washington. Yet
there was, and much OF 1t. Here Is the
statement Entire number nursed Ia wards
during the week, SO; number diagnosed
and treated, 1856; number OF wounds from
accidents surglcally dressed, l2; number OF
sunstrokes, A number OF prescriptions
prepared, 800.
And to the credit Of the camp, and of our
youth be 1t said, not one Of these cases was
due TO the use Of intoxicating liquors.
There is matter in this report which
should be carefully considered just at this
time, when we contemplate the creation OF
great National Guard system.
